S N O T
I do not disagree with most of what you say, you are obviously a good lifelong supporter of the club, well done with that.
What I don’t agree with you is how this guy was/is allowed to proceed with his persnal agenda, using Scunthorpe United as his medium to spout his abuse and allegations, it was blatenly obvious from day one that he could not give a toss if it destabilised your club(or closed it), it would not have happened at Ilkeston, he would have been off loaded very quickly.
Yes of course you are entitled to wonder why Hilton brought the club, I wonder why Abramovich brought Chelsea, and the Arabs brought Newcastle?.. the difference is I can not get the chance to ask them?,(not that I actually care) whereas you have had that chance according to your post.
My son at Ilkeston gets asked almost daily about the club, most of it is positive, sometimes negative, but never abusive, he explains things the best he can, whether it be signings, forward planning,etc and although not always the answers wanted, nobody goes onto social media to air grievances either way.
Here at Scunthorpe social media is a very prominent part of the club, which in my opinion is not always a good thing, mainly because negative issues seem to occupy far more posts than positive ones.
To me, it seems that Whatever Hilton does, or doesn’t do, is praised,or criticised, by one half of the supporters or the other half!…. you must admit that can be very tedious for anyone, when it is endless don’t you think ?…
I know personally he spend a lot of time and effort trying to get through all the issues, and it can not be forgotten he has a missus and three young kids, that would be a lot for most people,me certainly, never mind trying to sort the mess at Scunthorpe without some guy pushing negative posts daily we have all seen more times than the wife recently.
Best wishes
